mittwald

Overview

This node operation deletes an existing SSH user from the system. It is useful in scenarios where you need to manage access control by removing users who no longer require SSH access, such as when an employee leaves a company or when cleaning up unused accounts. For example, an administrator can automate the removal of SSH users based on certain triggers or schedules to maintain security hygiene.

Properties

Output

The output JSON will typically contain the response from the API confirming the deletion of the specified SSH user. This may include status information or confirmation messages indicating success or failure. The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
• The node communicates with the mittwald mStudio API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
• Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Providing an invalid or non-existent SSH User Id will likely result in an error from the API indicating that the user could not be found.
  • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Network connectivity issues can prevent communication with the API endpoint.

• Error Messages and Resolutions:

  • "User not found" — Verify that the SSH User Id is correct and exists.
  • "Authentication failed" — Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Timeout or network errors — Ensure stable internet connection and that the API endpoint is reachable.
